Hi, I'm Suzy, a photographer, mentor and mom of 3. I'm so glad you're here.

What would have been another ordinary Friday in my world suddenly became one of the most memorable and wonderful ones for me as my best friends gave birth to their first daughter on 11.11.11 (remember their Ireland wedding from last summer??).  Although I missed her actual arrival, I took a few moments to stop by the hospital after and meet the new addition for myself.  The moment I laid eyes on that squishy little face I felt like my heart was going to burst it felt so full of love for her!  I was in between sessions that day but thankfully had enough time to relish in everyone’s joy, watch Cora have her first bath, tell my best friend how proud I was of her, and take a few photos.  Here are but a few of my faves from our time together… and here’s to all of the many adventures that I’m sure we will have!

Cora Sue I love you SO MUCH and am so happy you are finally here!

PS If you or someone you know is interested in having us do a day-after hospital session, email us at simplybysuzy@gmail.com for more details! 🙂

The Artist

Suzzane
brown

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with individuals and families who understand the value of time. And the importance of preserving it well.

My work centers on creating living archives: carefully composed records of a life as it’s being lived. Not performances. Not surface moments. But the relationships, environments, and details that define a legacy.

I approach each commission with the eye of an artist and the discipline of a documentarian. Listening closely. Observing deeply. Shaping work that is meant to endure. Crafted on film, finished as heirloom objects, and designed to be held in your hands, lived with in the home, and passed down in your private family vault. 

This is not photography for the present moment.

It is art made in service of memory, history, and the generations that follow.
